Apple-designed CPU.

Two performance cores tackle heavy computational tasks. And four efficiency cores take on everyday tasks. Our newest performance controller dynamically divides work across these cores, harnessing all six when a power boost is needed.

Apple-designed Neural Engine.

Our Neural Engine is built for advanced, real-time machine learning. That means iPhone XS can recognise patterns, make predictions and learn from experience, similar to the way you do.

The Neural Engine is incredibly fast, able to perform 5 trillion operations per second. It’s incredibly efficient, which enables it to do all kinds of new things in real time. And it’s incredibly smart, so you can do things like jump straight into immersive AR experiences. And quickly find all your pictures of dogs. Or beaches. Or babies.

We’ve also opened the Neural Engine up to the Core ML platform, so developers can bring powerful, real-time machine learning to their apps — learning that happens on your iPhone.

Enhanced ISP.

A12 Bionic in action.

The processing power and intelligence of the A12 Bionic make iPhone XS incredibly capable. But the chip was also designed with efficiency in mind. So when you put all that power into play, you still get great battery life.
